What is a RAW Image?

What is RAW Development?

When is RAW Development done?

What Advantages Does a RAW Image Have?

RAW image data

Image processing conditions information

COPY

Digital Photo Professional (hereinafter, “DPP”) is a high-performance
RAW image processing, viewing and editing software for EOS DIGITAL
cameras. It is often thought that RAW images are difficult to handle
compared with ordinary JPEG images, but using DPP, you can perform
advanced edits and print RAW images with ease.

RAW Images and Their Features

A RAW image is image data that has recorded output data of imaging
sensor. Because image processing does not occur inside the camera
when a photo is taken and the photo has been recorded in the special
form of “RAW image data + Image processing conditions information at
the time of shooting”, special software is needed to view or edit the
image.
* “RAW” means “in a natural condition” or “not processed or refined”.

RAW images are recorded in the format “RAW image data + Image
processing conditions information at the time of shooting”. When you
open a RAW image in DPP, the image is automatically developed and
you can view the image as an image to which image processing
conditions at the time of shooting have been applied.

Even if you perform various adjustments to the image you have opened
(it undergoes automatic development processing each time), only the
image processing conditions (development conditions) change and the
“original image data itself” remains unaffected. Consequently, image
deterioration is not a problem and it is the perfect image data for users
who want to get creative with their images after they have been shot.

In DPP, the “Image processing conditions information” that can be
adjusted is called a “Recipe”.

of Images

If described in terms of film, the concept of a RAW image is a shot
image not yet developed (latent image).
With film, the image appears for the first time when it is developed. In
the same way, for RAW images too, you cannot view them as images on
your computer unless you perform subsequent image signal processing.
Therefore, even though it is digital, this processing is called
“development”.

DPP automatically carries out this “development” processing when
RAW images are displayed in DPP.
As a result, RAW images displayed in DPP are images whose
development processing has been completed.
With DPP, you can view, edit and print RAW images without having to be
particularly conscious of the development processing.

You can perform a variety of image adjustments, such as adjusting the
brightness or changing the Picture Style of an image using the tool
palette of the edit window. You can easily restore an image to its original
settings with the [ ] button even if you have made the wrong
adjustment. Try out the various adjustments.

As an example, the procedure to adjust the brightness of an image is
explained here.

You can adjust images with the tool palette by switching between the
[RAW], [RGB], [NR/ALO] and [LENS] tab sheets according to your
editing requirements.
Because adjustment made with the tool palette (it undergoes automatic
development processing each time) only changes the image processing
conditions, the “original image data itself” remains unaffected.
Therefore, there are no problems with image deterioration that arise with
editing and you can readjust your images any number of times.
See Chapter 2 onwards for more detailed information on the various
functions of the tool palette.

In DPP, all the adjustment contents (image processing conditions
information) made with the tool palette is saved to an image as data
called a “Recipe” (p.96).

adjustments.

How to make adjustments using the [RAW] tool palette functions, and
how to adjust automatically with the [RGB] tool palette are explained in
this section.

You can adjust images with the tool palette by switching between the
[RAW], [RGB], [NR/ALO] and [LENS] tab sheets according to your
editing requirements.
Adjustments similar to those that can be performed with the functions of
your camera can be performed using the functions of the [RAW] tool
palette. When the camera settings were incorrect during shooting, or
when the shooting result is not what you visualized, you can get closer
to what you envisaged with the [RAW] tool palette which is similar to the
camera.
All functions other than [RGB] tool palette automatic adjustment, and
each function of the [NR/ALO] and [LENS] tool palette are explained in
Chapter 3.

About trimmed images

For a list of the trimming/angle adjustment window functions, see

p.135.

For images shot with ISO speed range expansion set, noticeable
noise may make it difficult to view image details in the trimming/
angle adjustment window, so using this function is not
recommended.

COPY

 The trimmed range can be reverted to its original condition at

any time

A trimmed image is displayed or printed as a trimmed image.
However, since the image is not actually trimmed, you can always
revert to the original image by clicking the [Reset] button in the
trimming/angle adjustment window or performing the “Re-Editing an
Image” procedure (p.43).

 Display of the trimmed image in each window

• Main window: The frame showing the trimming range is
displayed on the image (p.126).

• Edit window: The image is displayed in its trimmed condition.

• Edit image window: The thumbnail image is the same as the main
window display, and the enlarged image is the
same as the edit window display.

 Printing a trimmed image

You can print as a trimmed image by printing it in DPP.

 The image becomes a trimmed image when converted and saved

The trimmed RAW image actually becomes a trimmed image when
converted to a JPEG or TIFF image and saved (p.42).

 Images that have aspect ratio set will be displayed as trimmed

images

When aspect ratio information is attached to a RAW image shot with
EOS-1D X, EOS-1D Mark IV, EOS-1Ds Mark III, EOS-1D Mark III,
EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 7D, EOS 60D, EOS REBEL T4i/650D or EOS
REBEL T3i/600D, the set trimming range based on the aspect ratio
information is displayed. Since the image is not actually trimmed, you
can change the trimming range or revert to the condition before
trimming.
However, when a JPEG image is shot in a [4:3], [16:9] or [1:1] aspect
ratio set with the EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 60D, EOS REBEL T4i/650D
or EOS REBEL T3i/600D, its trimming range cannot be changed nor
reverted to the condition before trimming, since the image is actually
trimmed and saved in the set trimming ratio.*
When reverting to the condition before trimming is performed based
on the aspect ratio information at the time of shooting, click the
[Reset] button. Also, if you want to cancel all the trimming range, click
the [Clear] button (p.135).

* When shooting with EOS 5D Mark III and [Add cropping information]

is set in Custom Functions, aspect ratio information is only set and
the image is not actually trimmed, even for JPEG images.

Saving as a JPEG or TIFF Image

Click and save

Select the save

Enter a file name and
select an image type

DPP’s RAW image development processing technology is continually
being improved upon so that you can perform the latest image
processing more appropriately.

Meaning that, between two differing versions of DPP, processing results may
differ very slightly even if with the same RAW image data, or the results of
significant editing of RAW image data with an attached recipe may be different.

When you want to save the developing or editing results of the version
you are currently using as it is, it is recommended that you convert and
save images as JPEG image or TIFF images.

To save the developing/editing results for the version you are
currently using

 By saving as explained on this page, a trimmed image (p.38) or

dust-erased image explained in Chapter 3 (p.73 to p.77) actually
becomes a trimmed image or dust-erased image.



You can reduce the noise characteristic of JPEG images which
occurs when you convert and save an image as a JPEG (p.89, p.90).

 You can batch convert and save multiple images (p.99).
 For a list of [Convert and save] window functions, see p.134.

COPY

To view, edit and print a RAW image with software other than DPP,
convert to a more versatile JPEG or TIFF image and save.

The image is saved as a separate image, so the RAW image remains
unaffected.

Select the image to be converted.

Introduction

 Print up to 1000 images at a time

You can print up to 1000 images selected in DPP at a time. When
printing more than 1000 images, divide the printing into several jobs.

 The printed image’s color is not what you expected

In the EPP EX window, select [Preferences] in the [File] menu and
then click the [Advanced] tab in the [Preferences] window to display
the [Advanced] tab sheet.
In the [Advanced] tab sheet, select [Enable ICC profile] in [Color
correction for printing] and try printing using the [Perceptual] setting

(p.144).

Advantages of printing with EPP EX

 Printing with faithful colors

When the color space (p.144) is set to sRGB or Adobe RGB (p.77,

p.93), this color space is automatically transmitted from DPP to EPP

EX, allowing you to print with faithful colors.
When the color space is set to Apple RGB or ColorMatch RGB, the
image is printed with an sRGB color space, and when set to Wide
Gamut RGB, with an Adobe RGB color space.

 Printing with a wide color reproduction

When the color space setting (p.77, p.93) is set to Adobe RGB and
the image is printed with a Canon inkjet printer, the color reproduction
range is wider, and green and blue in particular are reproduced
vividly.

You can perform the following types of photograph printing with Canon
inkjet printers compatible with Easy-PhotoPrint (hereinafter, “EPP”):

 Simple printing of RAW images
 High quality printing using the color reproduction range of Adobe RGB

Style files with the extension “.PSE” to an image; however if such a
file is registered in the camera and the image is shot, the image will
display correctly.

Introduction

A Picture Style file is an extended function file of a Picture Style.
With DPP, you can apply to RAW images Picture Style files that you

have downloaded from Canon’s web site effective for various scenes or
Picture Style files created with “Picture Style Editor”. When using a
Picture Style file, save it to your computer beforehand.

Introduction

About the RGB Tool Palette

We recommend that as a general principle you edit RAW images using
the [RAW] tool palette. However, where the adjustment width with the
[RAW] tool palette is not wide enough and you wish to use the special
functions in the [RGB] tool palette, we recommend that you adjust your
images at the necessary lowest limit with the [RGB] tool palette after
having completed basic adjustment with the [RAW] tool palette.
Use the adjustment function of the [NR/ALO] and [LENS] tool palette

(p.129) when applying the Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.61), reducing

noise (p.62) or correcting aberration (p.63) after you have made any
required adjustments with the [RAW] and [RGB] tool palettes.

Using the tool palette

COPY

You can adjust images with the tool palette by switching between the
[RAW], [RGB], [NR/ALO] and [LENS] tab sheets according to your
editing requirements.
The [RGB] tool palette functions are the same as ordinary image editing
software, such as tone curve adjustment that is explained here, with
which you can adjust RAW images.
However, because the adjustment width of the functions in the [RGB]
tool palette is wider than the [RAW] tool palette, the image color may be
saturated, or the image quality may deteriorate if you adjust too much.
Therefore we recommend for functions other than tone curve
adjustment (p.58) and automatic adjustment (p.33), that you adjust
images using the same functions available in the [RAW] tool palette.

See Chapter 5 for explanations on functions of the [RGB] tool palette
other than tone curve adjustment.

To set the same noise reduction level for several images

 You can set the default noise reduction beforehand, using

[Default noise reduction settings] in the [Tool palette] tab sheet in

• When [Apply camera settings] is selected, you can pre-set a
noise reduction level that suits the camera settings beforehand
as the default.

• When [Set as defaults] is selected, you can pre-set a preferred
default setting for the noise reduction level beforehand. This is
particularly useful for applying noise reduction to all the images
in a folder at once, such as batch noise reduction for images
with high ISO speeds.

However, for images with recipes attached, the noise level
recorded in the recipe will be applied.

 If [Luminance noise reduction] has been set, resolution may be

reduced along with reduction of noise.

 If [Chrominance noise reduction] has been set, color bleeding

may occur along with reduction of noise.

 For a list of [NR Preview] window functions, see p.131.

Effects of Distortion Aberration Correction for
Fisheye Lenses

 Shot settings

By selecting this option, only distortion aberration correction for
correcting optical distortion is performed.

 Emphasize Linearity

This converts the image to a “central projection” style image. This
projection method is used with general lenses.
Differing from fisheye lenses, central projection displays straight lines
as straight lines.
By selecting this option, a wide-view panoramic image can be
obtained. However, the periphery is stretched, resulting in decreased
resolution.

 Emphasize Distance

While selecting any of the options [Emphasize Linearity],
[Emphasize Distance], [Emphasize Periphery], or [Emphasize
Center] will yield results similar to each of the projection methods,
the conversion does not exactly apply each projection method in
their precise sense.
Accordingly, care should be taken since they are not suited to
scientific or other such purposes.

COPY

This converts the image to an “equidistant projection" style image.
This projection method preserves distance relationships.
Equidistant projection displays the same distances from the center to
the periphery as the same distances.
In particular, when shooting a celestial body such as the celestial
sphere, any height above the horizon (declination) is captured at an
equal interval. This method is therefore used in such photography as
celestial photography (star maps, solar path diagrams, etc.).

 Emphasize Center

This converts the image to an “orthogonal projection” style image.
With this projection method, the center is more emphasized.
Since an orthogonal projection allows a subject of the same
brightness to be displayed as occupying the same area in the image,
this method has typical uses in photography for celestial luminance
distributions and center-emphasized animal photography.
By selecting this option, the center is stretched and may result in
decreased resolution.

 Emphasize Periphery

This converts the image to a “stereographic projection” style image.
This projection method emphasizes the periphery.
Stereographic projection allows position relationships on a spherical
surface, such as N, S, E, W on a map, to be displayed correctly. It is
therefore used for world maps and monitoring cameras.
By selecting this option, the periphery is stretched and may result in
decreased resolution.

perform correction procedures (p.65) when tool palette is displayed, you
can apply the same corrections to all the images selected in the main
window.

Also, you can apply same corrections by copying the recipe of the
corrected image and pasting it onto the multiple images (p.41).

Additional information

 Some noise appeared in the periphery of an image after

correcting [Peripheral illumination]

You can reduce the noise by using luminance and/or chromatic noise
reduction of the noise reduction function (p.62). However, if you had
applied high amount of [Peripheral illumination] correction to the
images that have been shot at night or with a high ISO speed, the
noise might not be reduced.

 The image appears with less resolution after correcting

[Distortion]

You can make the image similar to the one before correction by
applying more sharpness with the sharpness adjusting function

(p.31).

 The colors of the image became weaker after correcting [Color

blur]

You can make the image similar to the one before correction by
adjusting the color tone (p.29) and/or the color saturation (p.107) to
make the color deeper.

 The result of [Color blur] correction cannot be detected

[Color blur] correction is effective for correcting blue or red color blur
which occurs at the edge of the highlighted area of an image. If
conditions do not match, correction cannot be made.

This function enables the resolution of images to be increased by
removing any remaining aberration related to image-forming capability
or any deterioration of resolution resulting from diffraction phenomena
that are unavoidable as long as light must pass through the lens. These
optical phenomena cannot be corrected under [Lens aberration
correction] (p.63). Correction is achieved using the designed value of
each lens. The images that can be corrected are RAW images shot
using any of the following “compatible cameras” and “compatible
lenses”. JPEG, TIFF, S-RAW, and M-RAW images cannot be corrected.
To use this function, [Lens data] for the lens used to shoot images first
needs to be downloaded to your computer.

Before using the Digital Lens Optimizer, it is recommended that you set
[Sharpness] or [Strength] for [Unsharp mask] for images to 0.

Introduction

For a list of the copy stamp window functions, see p.140.

For images shot with ISO speed range expansion set, noticeable
noise may make it difficult to view dust spots in the copy stamp
window, so using this function is not recommended.

COPY

Additional information

 Click several times when dust spots are not erased completely

Where unwanted dust spots are not erased even after performing
step 5 once, they may be erased completely when you click several
times.

 Mainly spots of dust can be erased with the repair function

Spots of dust can be erased with the repair function. You may be
unable to erase lines of dust. In this case, use the copy stamp
function (p.77).

 The dust-erased image can be reverted to its original condition

at any time

A dust-erased image is displayed or printed as a dust-erased image.
However, since the dust on the image is not actually erased, you can
always revert to the original image by clicking the [Undo] button in the
copy stamp window or performing the “Re-Editing an Image”
procedure (p.43).

 Check dust erasure in the copy stamp window

Check dust erasure in the copy stamp window. Images before dust
erasure are displayed in other windows and you will be unable to
check them.

 Printing dust-erased images

You can print as a dust-erased image by printing it in DPP.

 The image becomes a dust-erased image when converted and

saved

The dust-erased RAW image actually becomes a dust-erased image
when converted to a JPEG or TIFF image and saved (p.42).

Useful functions of the copy stamp window

 Checking the dust erased spots

After step 5, you can display and check in detail the erased dust spots
one by one by pressing the <Shift> + <F> keys. (Press the <Shift> +
<B> keys to return to the previous dust spot.)

 Canceling a specified erased dust spot only

After step 5, you can press the <Shift> + <F> keys or the <Shift> +
<B> keys to display the erased dust spot, and then press the <Shift>
+ <Del> keys to cancel only the erased dust spot displayed.

 Switch between full screen display/normal screen display using

shortcut keys

You can also switch between full screen display/normal screen
display by pressing the <Alt> + <Enter> keys.

 Applying the dust erasure result to another image

You can apply dust erasure to the same place in another image by
clicking the [Copy] button to copy the dust erasure results and then
displaying the other image to which you want to apply the results and
clicking the [Paste] button.
To apply dust erasure to the same place in several other images, you
can efficiently erase dust spots by clicking the images while holding
down the <Ctrl> key in the main window, or, by selecting multiple
images by clicking the first image and then clicking the last image
while holding down the <Shift> key, and then displaying the copy
stamp window.

Transferring a RAW Image to Photoshop

A RAW image can be converted to a TIFF image (16bit) and transferred
to Photoshop.

Select the [Tools] menu  [Transfer to Photoshop].

 Photoshop starts up and the transferred image is displayed.

A single image can be transferred at a time

Only one image can be transferred at a time. To send multiple images at
a time, see p.100.

 Compatible versions of Photoshop are 7.0 or later.
 Transferred images are automatically converted to TIFF images

(16bit) to which an ICC profile (p.143) is added. The ICC profile
contains information about [Preferences] (p.93) or work color
space set for each image as described below and the appropriate
color information is relayed to Photoshop.

 When you exit Photoshop, only the original RAW image remains,

and the transferred image will disappear. Saving the transferred
image as a separate image in Photoshop is highly recommended.

 For CS4 or later versions of Photoshop, this function is not

available if a 32-bit version is not installed.

Setting Work Color Space

A different work color space (p.144) from the default settings (p.93) can
be set for each image.

Creating HDR (High Dynamic Range) Images

You can create images with a wide dynamic range where clipping in
highlights and shadows has been reduced, and images that appear like
paintings. This is suited for scenes such as still-lifes and landscapes.
This function is most effective when using three images with different
exposures of the same scene (negative exposure, standard exposure,
positive exposure) to create an HDR image. However, you can also
create an HDR image from two images, or even only one.

Since an HDR image is saved as a separate image, the original images
remain as they are.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.

 This function can be used with all image types (p.3) supported by

 Viewing and saving RAW images

For images shot with ISO speed range expansion set, the difference
in image quality between [High quality] and [High speed] becomes
remarkable. To check the image quality of images shot with ISO
speed range expansion, make sure to set [High quality] and check
the images in the edit window or edit image window.

COPY

You can select from two types of image quality for displaying/saving
RAW images: high image quality with false color reduction processing
and noise reduction function (p.62) used, or high speed without false
color processing and noise reduction function used.

[High quality]

 False color reduction processing is automatically applied, and the

image can be displayed/saved as a false color reduced-high quality
image. Furthermore, you can use the noise reduction function (p.62)
to reduce the luminance noise and chrominance noise.

 Because the effects of the false color reduction processing and noise

reduction function are difficult to see in the [50% view] or [Fit to
window] display of the edit window and edit image window, use
[100% view] or [200% view] to check.

 We recommend that you normally set [High quality] for a balance

between image quality and display speed.

[View images at high speed (moiré reduction off)] of [High quality]

 If you checkmark [View images at high speed (moiré reduction off)],

when the image is displayed in the edit window or the edit image
window, false color reduction processing is not applied. However, you
can use the noise reduction function.

 As the setting is the same as [High quality] other than for image

display, the image undergoes false color reduction processing when it
is saved.

[High speed]

Since false color reduction processing is not applied, the display speed



of a RAW image in the edit window or the edit image window, and the
time it takes to save a RAW image is shorter than with [High quality].

 You cannot use the noise reduction function (p.62).
 Depending on the image, it may be displayed/saved with false color

or noise being noticeable.

 JPEG image quality

[Remove block noise and mosquito noise]

 You can improve the quality of a JPEG image by reducing the noise

particular to JPEG images.
This setting is also effective when RAW images are converted to
JPEG images and saved (p.42, p.99) and for JPEG images that have
been saved with a different name.

The extent of the improvement in noise reduction

The higher the JPEG image’s compression rate, the more noise is
reduced. When the compression rate is low, the effect of noise reduction
is negligible.



Default value of output resolution

You can set the resolution for RAW images converted and saved as
JPEG or TIFF images (p.42, p.99).

You can specify settings for the tool palette.

Tool Palette

COPY

 Default settings of RGB tool palette

You cannot apply changes to the settings until you re-open the folder.

 Modified Picture Style settings

You can select whether the [Color tone], [Color saturation], [Contrast],
[Unsharp mask] and [Sharpness] settings will be changed or retained,
when you change the Picture Style.

 If you checkmark the checkbox, the [Color tone], [Color saturation],

[Contrast] and [Sharpness] settings will be changed to match the
camera’s preset settings, when you change the Picture Style.

 If you remove the check mark, the [Color tone], [Color saturation],

[Contrast] and [Sharpness] settings will be retained, even if you
change the Picture Style.

Default noise reduction settings



You can set a default beforehand for the noise reduction level.

RAW Images

• When [Apply camera settings] is selected, you can pre-set a noise
reduction level that suits the camera settings beforehand as the
default.

• When [Set as defaults] is selected, you can pre-set a preferred
default setting for the noise reduction level beforehand.

JPEG/TIFF Images

• You can set a desired default noise reduction level beforehand.

For images not having a recipe attached, the default set here for noise
reduction level is applied. However, if you want to apply settings to
images in the opened folder, you need to re-open the folder after making
settings here. For images with a recipe attached, the noise level
recorded in the recipe remains as it is and the default for noise reduction
level set here is not applied.

Changes are not applied to the edited image

Even if the default setting is changed, the new default setting is not
applied to edited (i.e., adjusted using the tool palette, trimmed, dust­erased) images. Change each one individually.

In instances where the same level of noise occurs in several images,
such as images shot with high ISO speed, setting an appropriate default
noise reduction setting enables you to apply a batch noise reduction
default to all the images displayed in DPP (excluding images with a
recipe attached). This eliminates the need to apply noise reduction to
each individual image. And, since you always shoot with the same
conditions, it is also useful when you want to set the same noise
reduction level for all shot images.

92

You can specify settings relating to color management, such as settings

Color Management

COPY

for work color space, conditions for color matching, etc.

 Default settings of Work color space

You can select from five types of color space (p.144) that is applied as a
default setting in RAW images. Color space that has been set is applied
as the color space when a RAW image is converted and saved (p.42,

p.99) or printed (p.43, p.46, p.49, p.85 to p.88).

 If you have changed the setting, and you restart DPP, the new setting

is applied as the default setting color space.

 You can check color space that has been set in an image in the main

window (p.124, p.125), the edit window (p.127), and the edit image
window (p.133).

Changes are not applied to the edited image

Even if the default setting is changed, the new default setting is not
applied to edited (i.e., adjusted using the tool palette, trimmed, dust­erased) images. Change each one individually.

You can set a color space that is different from the default settings
for each image (p.77).

Display setting (color setting of the monitor)



Where a profile (p.143) is attached to the monitor you are using, you can
display an image in more faithful colors by setting the profile.

 If you select [Use the OS settings], the color profile set in Windows

will also be applied in DPP.
If you are using multiple monitors, only the profile of the primary
monitor is applied to DPP.

 Select the [Monitor profile], click the [Browse] button and in the dialog

box that appears, select a profile for your monitor.

Precise coloring with a third-party monitor color reader

If you use a profile created using a third-party monitor color reader,
images can be displayed in even more precise colors.

93

 Setting of printing profile (color setting of the printer)

COPY

Where a profile (p.143) is attached to the printer you are using to print
images, you can print an image and simulate the colors displayed on
screen by setting the profile. The profile that has been set is applied to
all printing (p.49, p.85, p.86) except for printing using a Canon inkjet
printer (p.43, p.46) or linked printing (p.87, p.88).

The adjustment function of the printer driver should not be
used

Even if you set a printer profile, if you use the color adjustment function
of the printer driver, the image may print in colors different from those
displayed on screen.

Automatic settings for printing using EPP EX, EPP, and
linked printing

If you are printing using a Canon inkjet printer (p.43, p.46) or using
linked printing (p.87, p.88), a profile is set automatically even when the
[Printing profile] setting is not performed. This allows you to print faithful
colors easily.

 Setting of CMYK simulation profile

You can select the color when printing in the CMYK environment of a
printing machine, etc. from four types of profiles (p.144) and perform
simulation on screen.

 When CMYK simulation has been set, [CMYK] appears (p.124, p.125,

p.127, p.133) in the bottom of the main window, edit window and edit

image window, and colors can be checked.

 To temporarily cancel CMYK simulation, press the <Ctrl> + <Y> keys.



Rendering intents when using Easy-PhotoPrint

You can set a rendering intent (matching method) (p.144) for printing
using Easy-PhotoPrint (p.46).

 The rendering intent is ordinarily set to [Relative Colorimetric].
 When colors with [Relative Colorimetric] are not satisfactory, set to

[Perceptual].

Utilizing Adjustment Contents (Recipe)

Contents adjusted using the tool
palette can be handled
individually as a recipe file
(extension “.vrd”).

RAW image data

Image processing conditions information

The adjustment contents of JPEG or TIFF images (p.103) can be
saved as a recipe file (extension “.vrd”) and loaded and applied to
another image in the same way as with RAW images.

COPY

All the adjustment contents (recipe) made using the tool palette can be
saved as an individual recipe file (extension “.vrd”) and loaded and
applied to another image.

You can edit images efficiently by selecting and adjusting one image
from images shot with the same shooting environment and batch
applying the adjustment results to a large number of images.

 Recipe data includes tool palette contents

Recipe data includes adjustments made with the tool palette ([RAW],
[RGB], [NR/ALO] and [LENS]). For this reason, other editing content
such as trimming or dust-erasure (copy stamp) is not included in the
recipe data.

 Recipes adjusted with the [RAW] tool palette can only be applied

to RAW images

Adjustments in the [RAW] tool palette, which can only be made for
RAW images, are not applied to a JPEG or TIFF image even if they
are pasted.

Batch Save as JPEG or TIFF Images (Batch Processing)

In the [Batch settings] window, you cannot perform [Save] or [Save As]

(p.41, p.119) to edited RAW images.

DPP’s RAW image development processing technology is continually
being improved upon so that you can perform the latest image
processing more appropriately.

Meaning that, between two differing versions of DPP, processing results
may differ very slightly even if with the same RAW image data, or the
results of significant editing of RAW image data with an attached recipe
may be different.

When you want to save the developing or editing results of the version
you are currently using as it is, it is recommended that you convert and
save images as JPEG image or TIFF images.

 While saving is being performed, you can continue working in

another window

Since the saving function operates independently in the background,
you can continue with an operation in another window such as the
main window or the edit window during the saving process.

 To convert all images and save, do not select an image in the

main window

If you do not perform step 1 and perform step 2 with no image
selected in the main window, all the images displayed in the main
window will be converted and saved.

Saving images with recipe is not possible

To save the developing/editing results for the version you are currently using

Skillful batch saving

If the message [Insufficient memory.] appears, too many images are
selected at the same time. Decrease the number of selected images.

 If you have selected [New file name] in [File name], [Sequence

number] has to be set.

 By saving as explained on this page, a trimmed image (p.38,

p.111) or dust-erased image (p.73 to p.77, p.114 to p.118)

actually becomes a trimmed image or dust-erased image.

 For a list of [Batch settings] window functions, see p.141.

COPY

You can batch convert and save edited RAW images to highly versatile
JPEG or TIFF images.

The images are saved as separate images, so the RAW images remain
unaffected.

In the main window, select multiple images to be

1

converted.

Click the [Batch process] button on the toolbar

2

 The [Batch settings] window appears.
